Can't get over how the marker turns on and off, seems easy to accidentally push it back and turn it off.

It's not. The o-ring the retains it gives it enough resistance where it is easy enough to push/pull when you intend to, but not when you don't. I actually like it because instead of having to push and hold a button and wait for the gun to turn on, you pull the button and that's it, she's running. Granted I only got to run with this for a little bit at the Alamo big game at Top Gun last month, but I put 5 pods and a hopper through it (out of a 48/4500) while beating through brush, crawling around in the dirt, and sliding into bunkers and never once accidentally turned it off in play.

There are now too many guns in my opinion. I'm wondering what the real difference is between these new markers and the already established lines. And if these companies can really out-do the other companies at least for the price.

Over 90k shots in. Havent had a broken ball yet, and I've thrown some serious junk through this gun. Still havent replaced any drive train o-rings, performace is a bit down. On 2nd battery, but...my gun has also been a demo sooooo...its always left on usually at the booth.

No leaks. For the past 3 months, with the exception of having the gun out to show, Ive kept constant pressure on the reg, and havent oiled this thing since June....

Questions?

I'm betting that you'll probably need to change that oring on the bolt back as well as maybe one or two of the inner core orings here and there. If you only use oil, I can see the oil blowing out and some wear occuring. Nothing major. Your reg may also just need maintenance. I don't know if they used grease or oil in it from the factory. You may want to take a look and grease it up. 90k shots on two batteries is probably going to cause performance issues. That's a lot of shots! lol.

drive past valken hq all the time on my way to and from her and there and i gotta say ive seen this thing out in the yard getting field tests done to it. Pics dont do it justice, thing looks pretty cool in person and didnt look like it chopped any paint (atleast in the times that i saw it). Kinda pumped for this

Im running it till something gives out or, until I get a +/- 20 over chrono.

Well that's probably the best way to test any product. Run it hard! Let's face it, most people who spend 300 on a gun aren't into doing proper maintenance. If the thing keeps going even when neglected, then it's a champ.

Ill admit, this little thing has taken some beatings. Its my main paint tester, demo on fields, and just general..."Go get that....I wanna shoot something" rig.
